What a great time to start thinking of travel – the weather is fairing up, June is here, and fortunately for me, I have a chance to take the driver seat again at another BlueHat conference! This time it’s in Brussels and I’m really looking forward to talking again about one of my favorite topics (eCrime – technology and business), as well as networking with the Microsoft gang and their European counterparts.

It used to be easy to be in the security industry. All you had to do is develop products that needed to say “nay” or “yay” on a given content and “bless” it to be secure or not. That is so 2007… As we have been witnessing during a turbulent 2008 (and yes – it actually started in 2007…) nowadays the ability to decide whether a given content (note the distinction between content and file…) is malicious or not is much more complicated.

Mike Andrews here. With a very broad brush, the vulnerabilities we see can be split into two categories – flaws and bugs. Flaws are inherent problems with the design of a system/application – Dan Kaminskys’ DNS vulnerability would be a good example. Bugs, on the other hand, are issues with the implementation of the software, and the classic example would be a buffer overflow.
